\fBrename \fIoldName newName\fR

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
Rename the command that used to be called \fIoldName\fR so that it
|
|
is now called \fInewName\fR.
|
|
If \fInewName\fR is an empty string then \fIoldName\fR is deleted.
|
|
\fIoldName\fR and \fInewName\fR may include namespace qualifiers
|
|
(names of containing namespaces).
|
|
If a command is renamed into a different namespace,
|
|
future invocations of it will execute in the new namespace.
|
|
The \fBrename\fR command returns an empty string as result.
